Genus Deuteroxorides Viereck, 1914

Deuteroxorides Viereck, 1914: 43 . Type species: Xorides albitarsus Gravenhorst, 1829 (= Ichneumon elevator Panzer, 1799 ), by original designation.

Diagnosis. This genus can be distinguished from other genera of Poemeniinae by the following combination of charactErs; dorsal part of gENa fiNEly aNd wEakly rugosE to fiNEly dENticulatE; clypEus small, flat, aNd suBrEctaNgular ( Figs. 2 , 9 ); apex of mandible with a single broad, chisellikE tooth; Epomia sharply dEfiNEd aBovE proNotal collar; epicnemial carina absent; tarsal claws of fore and middle legs of female with apically truncate teeth; T 1 and S1 clearly separated; T 1 with distinct lateral longitudinal carinae (Wahl & Gauld, 1998).

Distribution. Palearctic and Oriental regions.

Remarks. The mesoscutum of Palearctic species is usually partly covered with short transverse rugae ( Fig 3 ), which resemble the character state of the genus Pseudorhyssa Merrill, 1915 . However, they can be easily distinguished from Pseudorhyssa by the character state of mandible, i.e., a single ( Deuteroxorides ) tooth or double teeth ( Pseudorhyssa ).
